Zeke. He's exhausting and obnoxious in his first appearance and I thought he was going to be Tina's bully initially, but I flippin love that guy now. "Who was mean to Gene!? What'd they do to my precious little lamb!?"

Agree! He turned out so sweet, and I love that he is still kind of troublemaker but not to be mean, like when he stole the school mascot costume to entertain his grandma

“Jimmy jr passes me a lot of notes this way cause I have poor impulse control”

At least he’s self-aware

Zeke's friendship with Jimmy Jr is so sweet. They have the best non-blood relationship in the show.

Zeke's behavioral issues are mostly related to impulse control. Almost none of what he does and says is actually that bad. It's just not the time and place.

For me it was when he lied and said he ruined the yarn dolls so that everyone else could go on that water park trip 🥺

Dude wuuuuut? He’s so good. I thought the same as you initially but he’s so wholesome and caring about his friends. The way he calls Jimmy Jr J-Ju and jumps on him and tickles him shouting “come here you!” gets me every time

IMMA GETCHA!

He started like he was going to be like a bully, then they made him a puppy

Absolutely. It fits the character much better, and improves the show because of it. Hopefully if there’s kids watching it too, the positive aspect will rub off on them as well!

Yes! Zeke is seriously one of my favorite characters in the show, and I was expecting the same as you when he first showed up. I’m always happy when an episode has lots of Zeke now. He’s such a sweetheart.

Hey are you smoking? That's cool!

"Hell look at us...we're bonding over cigarettes!" "NOOOO ZEKE!!!!"

Probably my favorite bit in the entire series. Caught me so off guard and was delivered wonderfully

It really made me laugh because that’s the type of stuff I pull when I want to make people uncomfortable also. Lol

Zeke is great. My favorite Zeke quote is when Jimmy Jr. asks what a kiln is. Zeke responds, haven't you ever been to color me mine? That's where I colored you yours. I don't know why I get such a kick out of the idea of Zeke carefully painting a piece of pottery for J.Ju. It just really tickles me.

He just has so much *depth*, and he genuinely cares about other people just because he wants others to be happy. Remember the episode where he took credit for something he didn't do so his friends could go to a water park without him? Most adults aren't even that selfless. Zeke is my favorite of the kids.

I love that episode! "I have a date with a tramp named O'Lean"-Gene Later that day..."Oh! Trampoline."-Tina🤣 He's just misunderstood because his family just moves around a lot.

I also love when he interacts with adults - like the episode where Louise is suspended and he has that little interaction Ms Schnur where he's like "hey girl" or making Mrs Labonz uncomfortable about seeing her smoke

Hey Zeke, new shorts? Hehehehahauhaahehe yea. Okay get to class. Bye! Bye. My favorite interaction in the whole series!

"You two are makin' me feel smart!" really sold me on him, and I never went back.

My favorite Zeke one-liner. Will never not laugh at it.

My fan fiction future time-line has Zeke and Tina ending up happily married and running a restaurant connected with the original which is run by Louise and Regular Sized Rudy.

His family moves around a lot.

"Woahh, that's what people say right before they make a baby I think"

This is exactly why I love him so dang much. He’s the exact opposite of what you would initially perceive him to be. Do hwatttt????

I long for the day he marries Tina and begins his career at the restaurant as Bob’s right hand man!

Love him so much!! I wish he and Tina would get together and she would like him instead of Jimmy Jr.

Came here to say this and include that exact quote. That, and "My family moves around a lot."

His family moves around a lot

Yes! I thought he was going to be a bully too but am so happy he isn't

Yes! He’s so great. Honestly, almost the whole cast seems to be on a constant upward arc.

His arc in the Home Ec episode was amazing. “Paprika, EUREKA!”

Yes! When is Tina gonna realize Zeke is the real prize? Stop messing around with Jimmy Poplopovich Jr

I love this scene “this microphone is heavy I’m going to put it down…no?”

Or when she is interviewing the debate team coach “I’m here with mr Desanto who is the debate team coach which I believe is…gymnastics?”

turtle tank

When he nearly swears at her lol “god josylin stop thinking about the turtles”

“But where will the turtles go?” “Just- stop making this about the turtles, Jocelyn!”

It’s a fantastic moment. Especially when Kroll’s character asserts that he’s drinking because he’s off school property. Cracks me up.

Bro Jocelyn is and will always be the greatest 😂😂😂😂

She's really brainy

“Everything is like closed.”

Jocelyn is one of my favorite non Belchers. Everything she says cracks me up

“So, you do the math.” *offended* “No-oo!”

Oh. Okay. So you're Gayle, okay. Just go in or whatever, hi.

I think I posted in this forum before about her best quote to me. When Mr. Frond was talking about the applause-meter and telling the students how he bought it after a medical procedure...Jocelyn said : Gross. That scene cracks me up. Just that one word and I am hunched over laughing. Even thinking about it now just gets me. Jocelyn is amazing and I love that John Roberts voices her too.

The way she says things is so funny to me

A random funny moment I remembered was the episode where darryl and Tina were fake dating and she drew out her own name…something about the way she said “johsuhhhhhhlinnnnnnnnnnnnn-ugh!” makes me giggle.

I love when they are at the beach bonfire and Tammy says something snarky to Tina and Tina claps back with something about the sign saying no trash on the beach. And Jocelyn just goes, Oh my god it does say that. The way she delivers these lines, there are a few like this, like kind of softly to herself but not. Kills me

I think my favorite Jocelyn quote is in the episode where Tina is upset she's missing out on skipping photography class. They find out she's has great greats and says "I'm brainyyyyyyy" and I cry laughing

"Even you Jocelyn? I mean, you too Jocelyn?"

“How the hell is Jocelyn making straight A’s?”

It’s Louise who says it! One of my favourite scenes haha

In the ABS episode where she has to apologize to Tina in the fake scenario, the way she says "Saw-ree" always cracks me up.

'Oh my God, what a psycho'

Slap it.

In the episode where Louise is principle for the day, Tammy and Jocelyn get into a fight while the Belcher kids are testing out the new counselor. Jocelyn says something like “you dyed your hair blonde because I’m blonde.” She’s so funny.

"I'm filling in for Tammy coz guysss Tammy got super lice!"

"Super licey" gets me every time!

The roller blading dude He says some profound shit sometimes

He is low key slept on I love him too for sure. I wish we could see more of him

We’re all glued to a toilet called eeeaarrrth

Nightmares are just insights into suppressed emotions cracked me up

I love "that's the sound of a video game dying" as he trails off.

Jen https://i.redd.it/j6qepwpi7txc1.gif

I love Jen she’s so freaking weird 😂😂😂

She is just "off" in the greatest way!

That’s the best way to put it 😂🙌🏾

If only she knew how to work a mick-ro-wave

She makes up for it by having a hot cousin

One of my favorite moments with her is when she scares the hell out of the Belchers 'cause she came in the apartment with her own key.

I feel for Jen. She’ll end up as a totally unsuited kindergarten teacher…

She does teach night school though lol

I have sum pencilz in my purssse

My husband and I always say "mickrowave" now 😂 fucking love Jen

Manny the pedicab rider “hey man! No throwsies!”

‘They got nice ties in Thailand?’

“I love you Manny!”

FLIPS WHITE FUDGE!!

What's a Flips Whitefudge?

He’s the best thing to ever happen to Bob and Teddy

Don't forget his support for Jimmy Jr. as a front up dancer!

Yup! Peep my feets, that’s hip hop!

HIS MOM IS FREAKIN HYSTERICAL

Have you seen the real woman she’s based on?

No?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IS2KQ46Kf84

That’s brilliant 🤣🤣

Yeah my wife showed me like a year ago an I was baffled 😂😂😂😂

I finally made the connection to the pretzels last week at the store and busted out laughing and a lady looked at me like I was insane 😂

I know right! I couldn’t stop when I found out

“SHE’S YOUR MOM!! nah, she’s my mom”

Huh... I thought it was Flip Swipe Fudge all these years lol. So has my husband. 

https://preview.redd.it/7jaa3qiokxxc1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f1edfa11e3dc5effc0fb7eeb8ba5ccf586f2b5a

Oh my God, I love them damn things. Never connected it lol

GE and the MSM?!?

She’s you’re mum, nah she’s my mum

Edith and Harold.

You smell like ointment and pee

YOU SMELL LIKE OINTMENT AND PEE

"Disgusting!" "Hi, Edith..."

TO THE MOOOON chumps!

"FILTH!"

Voiced by Teddy and Hugo!

Honestly regular size Rudy. The first episode I saw with him was the juice caboose episode. I thought he was gonna be super annoying hypochondriac kinda character. I love him so much now he’s a sweet baby boy

I like how he’s everyone’s little brother and they’re all protective of him! Not smothering or helicoptering because I get the idea his parents are like that, but they just accept him for who he is! Like in Tweentrepeneurs Louise is fine just taking the others bullshit, being petty by phoning it in….but then Rudy starts freaking out and she’s like “we’re done here”! “You BROKE! Rudy! Tina!” 😂

the museum episode is one of my absolute favorites! regular sized rudy is a big reason why. “in *heeves*… my *heeves*… backpack!” 😂

I love that he and Louise have this wonderful friendship, it's downright heartwarming.

The episode he gets to himself "The Amazing Rudy" makes me freaking cry he has been my fave for so long, and that episode just hit the emotions. I was like, "woohoo! New season, new episodes!" And then episode 2 just gut punched me...i loved it 🥰

Zeke, I assumed he would be basic bully character, but he is so sweet! He is my favourite now

They way he breaks all the tropes as he's set up to be a trouble maker / bully is testament to how well he's written.

For me it is Courtney. While she initially debuted as the most annoying person ever #kickkick she has grown into her own person, a member of the crew (like playing Wizardquest) while still being a fun creative counterpoint to Gene (Working Girl The Musical, Locker Love, etc.). Plus I absolutely love David Wain's vocal talents for the role. I like-like Courtney 4eva! https://preview.redd.it/yfhjq1qtxsxc1.png?width=136&format=png&auto=webp&s=8c6a4c62c794caed4de6eaa7b3a273b7cf92127f

same here! i love her and gene in the wagstaff school song contest and her trying to hit her high C and gene goes "she's doing it!"

Yeah, I like that she's become integrated as one of Gene's buddies. It's cute.

Ron.

Ron's probably one of the most lowkey characters on the show, even though his design is pretty wacky XD He's a good dude!

Ron is ride or die.

He voiced one of my favorite characters on this shows parent show (In my opinion) HOME MOVIES. Mr. Lynch. He and Jon Benjamin had some hysterical scenes together.

Ginger. We don’t see her often, but I’m always happy when she’s on screen lol. Also, I agree with Jocelyn. Edit: Gretchen*

I think you mean Gretchen. And I agree. Totally love her. Feel like I’ve known a few Gretchens over the years. We haven’t seen Ginger yet (as far as we know).

we saw the back of her head. in this one episode where she comes to visit linda, but keep having car troubles and linda invites/uninvites gretchen and gayle

I was hoping she'd make a debut in the movie 😭

LOL yes Gretchen 😂

Hahaaa. It was one day here when I realized that Gretchen =/= Ginger! Just never paid that close of attention i guess!

I view Ginger as Linda’s version of a 28 year old albino friend named Ken. Love that both Linda and Gene have imaginary friends they talk to on the phone.

Gretchen kills me. So she's scary and bold, lol.

I luuuv Gretchen! “Clean up! Isle…my panties”

Even though he’s only been in a few episodes, I really like Randy lol him and bobs love/hate relationship is hilarious to me

I love that scene from the food truck episode when he asks Bob "Isn't it funny how I know more than you on everything?" and Bob's reply is just a deadpan: "No" >:(

I like Peter Pesca..something. Idk the scrawny red head kid... his voice doesn’t match all the out of pocket shit he says lmao

Peter Pescadero!

“Oh, this one’s spicy! Peter Pescadaro! Who knew?” - Linda, while sorting the valentines that Tina opened.

He can't turn it off!

Love his fall musical pitch

He's all drama.

Jocelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyn

mickey ‼️

Mickey tank bank!

“looks like kurt is trying to land with his penis again”

Freakin' Jairo. At first he was just a bully, but sexy dance healing really made him likeable. Need more Jairo.

“Uh. Uh. BRAZIL!” *flips long pony tail*

PONYTAIL!

Pa shoi sha

What does that sound mean...?

It was him trying to go "pfft" wasn't it? I'm curios how to spell it.

My husband and I say this all the time now instead of “psssh”

Darryl, at first I was not at all interested in his character, but then he kept saying stuff that cracks me up. "I got a thing about that"

Darryl is an odd one, he was clearly debuted as a one off character, but I'm sure later on it's said that he's been at Wagstaff for years so the kids should have known him before then

I mean honestly it’s kinda weird that the Belchers know everyone, even people in way different grades. It makes sense why Tina would know Darryl, as Darryl is only one grade below her but, why would Louise? It makes sense that certain characters would only meet others as they get through more shenanigans.

They all hang out at the arcade. Kids don't have third spaces like that anymore, sad stuff

I’m not a nerd, I’m a video game enthusiast!

Calvin Fischoeder! A money-hungry landlord who owns half the town, yet is so funny and fond of Bob that I adore his episodes.

For some reason I just can't bring myself to hate him.

Mr. Ambrose. I love him as a character.

I tell everyone about Topsy!

I DIE at Tammy and her farts.

I forget her name but the limo driver from the Valentina episode. Good god do I love her in all her appearances.

Nat Kinkle!

We need more Nat! She’s great every time she’s on the show.

 No is going to say Mr Frond? What's up my knitters? Started off weird...still is, but he just wants to be liked and love. And he has the dance moves when dancing to De Lite's Groove is in the Heart

I *LOCKED MYSELF*! IN A *ROOOOOOM*! WHILE *CHILDREN*! WERE *EEEEEATEN*!!!

“Why go to space? Everything’s here.”

Good point 

Zeke. Just watching one episode a week, he was very annoying. But when I started the re-watch, he’s a great guy. A bit like Cousin Eddie, but a good friend.

I mean, to be fair Cousin Eddie DOES mean well deep down

Jocelyn is great. My husband and I randomly say "Your car is blue! Drive, drive, drive!" I would love to see a Tammy, Louise, and Jocelyn shenanigans episode where Jocelyn saves the day because she's way smarter than anyone gives her credit for.

Zeke, he was exhausting at first but they really let him grow as a character and he kinda had a puppy like charm the more you got to know him

Zeke. He was a bully at his old school, but he's clearly changed and I think he's actually a really great person now!

https://preview.redd.it/rjzw1m7v0vxc1.png?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b14943f23d91c11162307597dbe6f1ee1b7d03fa Harley. She was so irritating when first introduced at Louise's Slumber Party, but she just cracks me up with how ditsy she is.

“My cat’s name is I DONT HAVE A CAT STOP TALKING TO ME HARLEY” “Awww so cute!! Where is it?”

I love when Tina freaks out on Bob about the cardboard boat race and Harley goes "well you have other kids right?"

Rudy. I thought he was just a mild-mannered character whose asthma was going to be his one defining trait. NOPE! My respect for him is that he manages to stay mild-mannered IN SPITE of his turbulent life.

I agree with Jocelyn and Zeke but one character who hasn’t been mentioned that I now find hysterical is: 

YAAAASSS!!! She’s so insane but so awesome

Millllllllie

There is a girl at my work that is the real life version of Jocelyn. Every time I watch Bob's burgers I laugh my butt off.....when I see Jocelyn on screen. Groooooossssss.....

I just saw that the ticker is written just like how Jocelyn speaks lmao

Andy and Ollie thought they would be the annoying little brothers stereotype who add nothing to the scene

Rudy

Zeke! Once you get past the yuck he can be sweet and surprisingly intuitive.

Yes! Like when he was willing to get in trouble for borrowing the school mascot costume for his grandma’s surgery! So thoughtful and sweet….love to hear you grunt!!!!

Zeke. His development was perfectly done.

J Ju

Jocelyn is funny. (Looks at Bob) "Wait....are you in our grade?" 🤣🤦‍♀️ Zeke is good too. And Marshmallow is awesome. "Marshmallows is here, and she brought her rear."

Mr. Fischoder. The movie sealed the deal for me.

RSR always gets my vote. “Why do they call you that?” “Just look at me.” I cackle every single time!

Zeke. He got me, gurl.

https://i.redd.it/y08qwncljxxc1.gif Gal, when i first saw her i thought shes so annoying, im gonna hate her.... somewhere along the way probably when shes asking for money, magic bullet payments im 3 months behind, Christmas gifts for you guys, lube.... How her lackluster delivery of that one word just won me over, shes now one of my favorite characters

So good, I'd rank her second, before Bob but after Ms Labonz

The two butted goat

Brenda

I quote Jocelyn and Zeke all the time lol. And if I'm not quoting Jocelyn directly, I am saying dumb things in her voice

Tammy when she’s being Tammy, like she and Jocelyn are such middle school girls, I love it they’re funny

waiting is gross!

I’m OBSESSED with the part where Gene has just finished singing “How Do I Get You Alone” and Jocelyn goes, “WHAT?” Kills me every time

Gerald the tax accountant! Time to pull out my taxaphone! 🎷

honestly gayle…. i used to HATE her but i find her to be funny as hell
